Wonders of the world in Tanzania

 
Mount Kilimanjaro, the Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater are three given natural wonders of Tanzania. These are three of Africa’s natural wonders across the whole continent. Tanzania could easily be called the capital of the natural wonders of Africa.  
 
 
 
Mountain Kilimanjaro is the:
  • The tallest mountain in Africa reaching 19,340 feet (5,895 m)
  • Tallest free standing mountain in the world
  • Seven different peaks with Uhuru Peak being the highest
  • Kibo peak features a 1.5 mile wide crater
  • Greatest view of earth's surface in one view

    The forested area of the mountain there are reports of baboons, civets, leopards, mongooses, honey badgers and servals. Your best bet is to focus on the trek, views and acclimation to the altitude and then transition into wildlife viewing after getting down from the mountain.



Mount Kilimanjaro is neighbors with the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater which are both havens for wildlife. If time permits you should plan on visiting both the crater and the plains of the Serengeti. Ngorongoro Crater can be experienced in a day and this unbroken caldera serves as a wildlife sanctuary with a chance of seeing the Big 5.

Tanzania has three given natural wonders which include Mount Kilimanjaro , the Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater. Each of these is a leading candidate for the 7 Natural Wonders of Africa. The voting for the 7 Natural Wonders of Africa is also closed.
